03 | Recently I made a new friend. Last year he was introverted, self-conscious, and unwilling to look people in the eye when he spoke to them. That is, if he worked up the courage to speak to someone at all. Right now, he’s sitting in a room with hundreds of other students getting ready to go on a mission trip half way around the world. He will go places he’s never been and do things he’s never done before in order to share the gospel with people he’s not yet met.

How does a change like that happen? One person takes the time to get to know someone outside their immediate circle of friends. A story of hope is shared. The message of grace is received and God transforms a life.

GRACE – the unexpected gift of another, the underserved favor of God. What grace have you been given? What grace will you give?
